Sn1 solvolysis

Can anyone shed any light on the products when tertiary butyl chloride reacts with:
Formic acid,
Acetic acid.

I want to say the answers are very similar and follow the same mechanism of water but I'm not sure.
Thanks:smile:

Yep, I'd say so! They're polar, protic solvents so well set up for SN1
